Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time when you had multiple competing priorities.
A program manager contacted me 3 days after submitting my application and we had a phone interview. I didn't hear back after a week so I sent a follow up email and she decided to schedule an in-person panel interview for the following week. The phone interview was pretty standard, but the program manager talked a lot about the position and the organization, which was really helpful and made the interview feel more conversational. The questions were pretty standard. The panel interview was a little more stressful and intense. It was three different managers and they asked questions in rounds.
